Deleting The Ir Memory; Selecting The Place Of Installation - Gira 0588 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

Deleting the IR memory

After the installation and before programming
of the IR keys, it is useful to delete the IR
memory beforehand by proceeding as
follows:
1. Withdraw the device from the bus coup-
ler.
2. Turn the adjusting potentiometer at the
rear of the device with a small screwdriver
into the 'Reset' position.
3. Plug the device back onto the bus coup-
ler. The IR memory is now deleted and the
IR window now flashes orange.
4. Withdraw the device a second time from
the bus coupler. Turn the potentiometer
back to 'On' and plug the Instabus / IR
converter back onto the bus coupler. Pro-
gramming of new IR channels is now pos-
sible.

Selecting the place of installation

The place of installation should be chosen so
as to achieve optimal communication in ope-
ration.
For perfect operation, the Instabus / IR con-
verter needs sight contact with the IR app-
pliances to be controlled (e.g audio equip-
ment) and the IR remote control transmitting
to the Instabus / IR converter.

The place of installation must therefore be
chosen so that
• in operation, the IR remote control can be
easily pointed to the Instabus / IR conver-
ter;
• there are no objects, pieces of furniture,
curtains, etc. impairing the sight contact
between the Instabus / IR converter and
the equipment to be controlled.
The lateral range is optimal within an angle of
60° (from the median line). Greater ranges
and wider angles can be covered when trans-
mitter and receiver are arranged in a straight
line. The same applies, when the IR rays are
reflected from walls or furniture in the room.
The device can be installed at hand range or
also at a height of 2.20 m.
